Tractors
In green fields
Should be red


~ ~ ~


I wish I was a redshank
if you were a redshank too
We'd peck sand together
at turn of tide


~ ~ ~


It pays, I reckon,
to have somewhere to go
though maybe not a deadline


~ ~ ~


To sit in your dappled shadows
and forget the evidence of decay
Before sunset, I will have moved on


~ ~ ~


If you were me
you'd do the same
I'm not getting at you
I'm getting by
